Regardless of how many Star Wars collections we've already bought on VHS and DVD over the years, the minute we heard about the invention of Blu-ray, we should have known this day would come.

In case you couldn't guess, George Lucas is, yet again, pimping out the franchise that made so many geeks across the globe and across generations love him and/or hate him over the course of six movies by releasing 'Episode I' through 'Episode VI' in a Blu-ray collection dubbed 'Star Wars: The Complete Saga.' As for the details, the collection is going to be made up of nine discs, the movies will be presented in full 1080p, and it will have 40 hours of special features -- including never-before-seen deleted scenes.

You won't be able to get your hands on it until Sept. 16, but hit the jump for a teaser trailer of what to expect from the bonus footage.

Ever since debuting at the Festival de Cannes in May, Nicolas Winding Refn's'Drive' has garnered quite a buzz. And that's no surprise, given it's hot, young cast (Ryan Gosling,Carey Mulligan), its story line (about a Hollywood stunt driver by day who moonlights as a top-notch getaway driver-for-hire in the criminal underworld at night), and the fact that Albert Brooks plays a villain.

At FilmDistrict's panel at Comic-Con on Thursday, the company screened a Red Band trailer for 'Drive,' which you can watch after the jump.

Ryan Gosling stars as a Los Angeles wheelman for hire, stunt driving for movie productions by day and steering getaway vehicles for armed heists by night. Though a loner by nature, Driver can't help falling in love with his beautiful neighbor Irene (Carey Mulligan), a vulnerable young mother dragged into a dangerous underworld by the return of her ex-convict husband Standard (Oscar Isaac). After a heist intended to pay off Standard's protection money spins unpredictably out of control, Driver finds himself driving defense for the girl he loves, tailgated by a syndicate of deadly serious criminals (Albert Brooks and Ron Perlman). But when he realizes that the gangsters are after more than the bag of cash in his trunk -- that they're coming straight for Irene and her son -- Driver is forced to shift gears and go on offense.

One of the most exciting parts of any Comic-Con is simply wandering the floor and checking out what cool things each studio, artist, publisher, etc. has brought to show off — whether it’s merchandise, games, swag, or what have you. This year, Legendary Pictures put on a mini-exhibition of props from some of their most beloved films, including Watchmen, Inception, 300, Superman Returns and, uh, The Hangover Part II. Check out the collection of Inception totems, the Comedian’s happy face pin, Clark Kent’s glasses, and more, after the jump.

Though Ridley Scott didn't show up in person for the much anticipated Comic-Con panel on 'Prometheus,' Fox execs kindly provided footage, revealed a first photo from the set (see above) and sent screenwriter Damon Lindelof and co-star Charlize Theron to San Diego to talk about the production. During the panel, a satellite video feed popped up and Lindelof chatted with Scott and co-star Noomi Rapace (they're shooting the opening of the film in Iceland).

'Prometheus' has been a buzz film ever since it was announced as a prequel to the 'Alien' franchise, and rumor and speculation have surrounded the production ever since. When Lindelof was brought in to rewrite the original script, the film supposedly changed course and was touted as a stand-alone sci-fier, though there would be more than a passing nod to 'Alien.'

At the panel, Theron talked about her role in 'Prometheus,' saying that she plays a "suit" named Vickers who's in charge of the central mission of the film -- "a machine in charge of the machine." Ummm.

Scott wasn't any little less cryptic when talking about the film. Since robots, cyborgs and replicants are part and parcel of modern sci-fi cinema (thanks to 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner,' of course), Scott let it out that "there may be two" in the film, and mentioned that they were doing something fresh with them this time around.

He also went on to delineate a connection between 'Prometheus' and 'Alien,' saying that an unexplored concept from the original films would be examined here and that the connection between 'Prometheus' and 'Alien' would be revealed in the last few minutes of the film.

So looks like we'll have to wait a little longer to find out more about this one. 'Prometheus' stars Rapace, Theron, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie and Rafe Spall and will be released on June 8, 2012.

Here's Fox's official line on the film:

Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life's ultimate mystery.
